Forms of Introduction,

As the old world question of rank does not
hold good in our society. it is customary
when introducing two women to present the
younger or less important TO tho elder woman
When the difference between the two parties
is debatable or any emphatic distinction
seems undesirable, it is quito the custom to
strike a balance of respect by saying: "Mrs.
A., this is Mrs. Y; Mrs Y, Mrs. A." A
gentleman is always presented to lady with
some such formula as "Mrs. A., allow me to
present Mr.. B." or "Miss c., Mr.. b. desires
the honor of knowing you" II obliged TO
introduce herself, when making first call, a
lady will mention her name with its proper
prefix of Mrs. OF Miss.

A Model Guest.

A model guest says Mrs. Sherwood never
infringes for one moment on the rights of the
master of tho house. She never spoils his
dinner or drive by being late; she never sends
him back to bring her parasol; she never
abuses his friends or the family dog; she is
careful to abstain from disagreeable topics;
she joins his whist table if she knows how to
play; but she ought never to be obliged 10
rise an hour earlier than her won't because he
wishes to take an early train to town.

Memorial and Decoration Dav.


There is Memorial day in the south to
correspond with our Decoration day in the
north. The southern day is May % It has
been suggested i'm the south that the day be
changed to the same date celebrated i'm the
north, May 80. This change has been OBJ
Jected to In the south on the ground that the
southerners regard their day sacred to the
lost cause, while the northerners celebrate
Decoration day as zone of triumphant exul-
tation over the last expiring gasp of the cause.
This is absurd. The day both at the north
and at the south, set apart for the purpose
of decorating the graves of northern or south
ern soldiers, is for this purpose, and certainly
should be for none other. If either is intended
to keep alive the sectional bitterness engen-
dered by war, its observation would better be
discontinued. If the day observed could be
the same north and south, it would, ON the
contrary, serve to further cement the two

London and its suburbs is now very near s.

stood for many years on one of the main Lon

continually clogged The authorities were
loath to remove it on account of its historic

behind the dial; formerly the clock was in

Artificial Ventilation of Sewers.

A member of the board of sewer commits
sioners of Detroit, after ten years of careful
observation, advocates a furnance and chim-
ney of strong draught at the mouth of the
main sewer. to create a constant suction of
the gases away from the houses and into a
consuming chamber i'm the furnace. He be-
lieves that the deadly pest of sewer gas will
never be got rid of but by some system of pn-
varying artificial ventilation of sewers. The
method he proposes, says one scientist, could
be more effectively operated by compare
lively small gas fame with proper flue build
ing than with costly coal fire, provided the
gases can be otherwise neutralized or dis

Napkins are now seldom folded into fanci-

hands not always fresh, and is repugnant to
dainty and sensitive people. The napkin may

bread under the corner on which the mono
gram or initial is embroidered.

TOILET ACCESSORIES

The figures in the cut are described in
Demorest's as rosettes made of ribbon about
an inch wide, and now so fashionable for
decorative purposes. Those attached to the
bow of index ribbon for the hair are of the
narrowest width, and a pretty combination
for the purpose would be pale pink rosettes
on pale blue bow, or vice versa. For the
collar and sleeve a wider ribbon is used, and
The same ribbon is sewed inside, about q
quarter of an inch showing beyond the edge.
One illustration shows the method of attach
ing a safety pin to the back of the rosette SO
that it can be attached and removed at pleas
ure. Individual taste can be gratified in the
selection of ribbons; all kinds are fashionably
used in this way, and very pretty effects are
sometimes produced by the use Of two
colors or the introduction of velvet with satin

Half a Century in Railroad Ticket
Office.
A few days ago Mr.. Benjamin
Wells, ticket agent of the P. W. &
B. railroad at Elkton, completed his
half hundred years in that office, and
has the distinct honor of having been
ticket agent longer than any man
in the United States. The Ne s
recently gave the following historical
sketch of Mr.. Wells career as railroad
agent: "On November lst, 1847, Mr..
Wells was engaged as assistant agent
under Zebulon Rudolph. who was the
first agent of the company at Elkton.
The road had then been in operation
but few months, and the railroad
depot had been completed only a
few days. This depot only cost
$400, and was 40 by 20 feet. Mr..
Wells was % years of age when he
began selling railroad tickets, and is
consequently now 73 years old.
From his vigorous appearance it
would seem probable that he may
continue in his position for many
years to come. 1t many be remark.
ed in this connection, as something
of a coincidence, that Charles Ru-
dolph, grandson of Zebulon Ru
dolrh Is now telegraph operator and

could be brought to believe that pro-
hihitcry law would suppress the traffic
in intoxicants or even materially de-
crease the consumption of liquor.
While people realize that laws, no
matter how severe the penalties pro.
vided for their violation, nor with what
degree of energy and determination
they are soughtto be enforced, will put
a stop to drunkenness, or materially
check the evil of liquor drinking. they
are not going to be very anxious to
adopt prohibition and thereby deprive
themselves of the right to compel liquor
and liquor drinkers to bear some of the
financial burdens which they impose
upon the community. Temperance
must be brought about and maintained
by other influences and means than by
legislative enactments. These latter
can govern and control the traffic, but
they cannot suppress it, as has been
demonstrated so often and for SO many
generations.

NO PROHIBITION.

The prohibitory amendment TO the
State Constitution was defeated in
Michigan yesterday, there being a large
majority of votes east against the pro-
position. This does not indicate that
the people Of Michigan are more adj
dicted to strong drink than those of
Maine, Kansas, Iowa and other prohibi-
ton States. The facts are, that Michigan
people drink no more than Others, and
there is no more drunkenness among
the Wolverines than in other common
tiles. The refusal to adopt the amend
meDt may be set down to the fact that
the Michigan voters have observed that
prohibition does not prohibit, and tina.
laws which cannot be enforced with
something like success had better not
be enacted. We believe there is
not one American community but
would cast majority vote
for prohibition, if the majority
